Jerry Garcia is dead.
You can’t take anything he says seriously
All you guys,
They both play the more or less the same position in the same league and are about the same physical dimensions. Other than that comparing Drogba and Jozy at this point is reaching.
Drogba has played and currently plays for some of the best coaches on the planet. And he plays for one of the best teams on the planet. He gets lots of good service and lots of help.
At this point do we even know who Jozy’s coach is? And do any of you seriously want to compare Hull’s roster to Chelsea’s?
THis discussion is silly.
you named everything he’s great at except the most important thing…scoring goals.
How did Friedel look today? 😉
Wow! Goal of the week!
How much money must San Jose be losing playing in their “temporary” Buck Shaw Stadium home? Goal Morales!
Yeah, you would think just posting the scores on at least one of the two sites would not be too much to ask for! It looks like the people operating the sites went on strike and it hasn’t been settled yet!
Well, cheers to the NY RB. I’M hammered, I won an autographed jersey and I saw good things from my Club (McBride bicycle/Nyarko chip but miss).
This rounds on me, cheers RB supporters, this round is on me.
There is only one ronaldo!!!

You have no idea what you are watching. Jozy doesn’t have the skill to match other EPL player! And the comparison with DRogba is absurd. Where was Didier Drogba at age 20? Jozy has demonstrated skill in all facets of the game. Holding up, beating his man on the dribble, linking with teammates Go watch basketball, you might be able to approach that game. Self hating American soccer fans are so tiresome.
According to ESPN Beasley did not play today.
The new MLS website is appalling. Nothing works.
And Valencia is getting trashed by Zaragoza…
Dallas-Houston was a good match. Houston’s backline looks a little suspect, although Dallas couldn’t get the ball up top enough to test it. Saw it in HD on FoxSW in Austin. Both teams played well unlike Thursday night. I liked that the ref’s made PU pay for their horrible fouling.
i missed GBS’s goal b/c of matchday freezing. how did he score?
The STUPID MLS matchday Live keeps freezing on balls sent into the box or shots on goal so I have missed them both. STUPID PROGRAM.
2-0 Crew!
Wow, Landin is like a penguin when he runs, its so funny, maybe that is why houston got him, make the defense laugh so much they cannot defend him
I think the site is still Beta, so those things should get in added later, if they do not the site is an epic fail
What the heck is up with the new MLS site, there is no standings table on the front page, there are no game trackers or score updates…what is this crap??
Yea, Dallas has worked pretty hard on their counterattack style of play, it is working, would be better for them if Cunningham went on fire like he did at the end of the season last year. Houston is getting shots, just nothing really on target at close range, i have a feeling that will be the story of the dynamo for much of the season
So in other words, Drogba was destined someday to be there, but he wasn’t there at 20? That would make what fischy’s saying not much of an insult then. In fact I’d go so far as to say you could both be right without him having to not know what he’s talking about.
Maybe go half-caff next time.
True. The game seems to be getting more chippy now.

Naw, their favorite moves consists of getting hurt by air
Hah exactly. The Fredys favorite move.
Ala sounders
Agreed, as long as its not like the Robinson and Chabala fouls I enjoy teams playing hard; opposed to them flopping when they knock elbows…
Anyone using the match tracker seeing glitches with the system for the Dallas-Houston game?
Yea there have been a couple little scuffles like that, robinson got picked up and kicked in the arm, Dynamo have been doing there own physical play, but to me they are just playing hard for most of their fouls, nothing really bad, atleast not compared to those two mentioned above.
Harris is also trying out his wrestling moves with that yellow on Chabala.
for those of you in New Jersey with Cablevision, do you know if Direct Kick is offering a free preview? if so, what channel(s)?
FCD comes back with their own gown, Harris just burned houston’s Defense and Midfield
atiba harris’ career just peaked.
1-1 Dallas tie it up.
Houston is doing something they should have been doing more of last year, shooting from outside the box during the run of play
And there is Chabala with a goal
Goal Dynamo. 1-0.
